Match Report	Panorama continued their steam rolling of teams in the league with another monstrousd display in a 8-0 win against bottom of the league Old Parks 2. Olgiati started with a 4-5-1 that soon turned into a 3-4-3 with Panorama pressing from the start and not letting Old Parks pass the mid line. In the first 15 minutes Old Parks managed somehow to avoid conceding, with Panorama playing a beautiful, flowing passing game especially in the final third. Players were looking for each other, the midfielder, commanded by Bailery with Almedia and Goncalves in the pressing roles, continuously involved the wings , and after hitting the post twice finally Panorama scored two in rapid succession in a similar way, with the ever running Mdunge combining with all present Lindsay for the first two goals. Old Parks crumbled after the first two goals, and only some miracles by their keeper (especially on a missile by Bailey) and some missed close range shots kept them in the game. But Panorama continued their constant pressing and found another goal after Goncalved collected the ball in the midfield and beat the whole defense before releasing a pass that one of the Old Parks players converted in their own net. Eventually there was some glory for Lindsay after his 10th attempt, scoring from a pass by Bailey. In the second half there was time to experiment and even re-introduce Rinshaw, who last played the 20th of April in 2022 (10 months ago!). Even after so many changes, Panorama kept playing the same game, with Old Parks definitely trying to score at least one, but if it wasn't for the strong back four with the scary pairing of Garrad and De Klerk, then Mushore took care of keeping his goals untouched by a ball. Eventually in the space of 15 minutes, more goals added to the misery. First Olgiati, collecting a ball from the right, found somehow Lindsay after a lucky rebound for the 5-0. Few minutes later Olgiati was fouled in the area and converted a penalty (his first since 2018 against Ranbdurg). There was more glory for Miles, converting with a clever flick De Kler's Header and Garrad, also scoring after a great pass by O'Sullivan Another incredible performance for Panorama who stayed on top! Some stats from the game: Old Parks 2 will be happy to finally played the last game against Panorama this year. In the 5 games so far, they lost 5, scored 4 and conceded 37... This was Panorama's 10th victory in a row, the second best streak since 2019 (12) So far in 2023 Panorama played 5, and scored 38 goals at a crazy average of 7.6 goals per game. But more importantly, only conceded 5. Franz played his 40th game for the team, while many other players are closer to important numbers: Bailery is 2 games away from 100, Egbers and Lindsay are one gamea away from 60, and Goncalves is one game away from 50 Lindsay insane form (16 goals and 9 assists in the summer season in only 10 games, 9 goals and 5 assists in 2023 only) moves him closer to the top 5 of overall scorers (6th, two behind Egbers) and closer to the top 5 of assists (31, 4 behind Dixon) Mdunge's season also ash been quite rewarding so far, with 8 goals and 5 assists in 9 games. His 11th goal moves him in the top 20. Goncalves' 25th career assist moves him in the 10th overall position
